Ep 611: It's Our Wedding Anniversary and State Fair Also Mike Lindell Fail

August 13, 2021

Driftglass and Bluegal celebrate their TENTH wedding anniversary this coming week. We're also celebrating the butter cow at the Illinois State Fair. What was that cyber symposium? (Thanks very much Hal Sparks for taking the bullet and watching most of it for us.) Why the Republican Party is like Babylon Berlin. Andrew Sullivan and Tom Nichols (new books out) get a huge pass from MSNBC, and we wouldn't care except there are huge consequences for that. More at http://ProLeftPod.com!

Butter cow? Meh. Do you have a five foot high butter sculpture of Paula Deen's head? It did exist. I just can't find a picture.

As the past provided us with the present of today only can give promise of the future.
Not only all three presences are required, there is a mental state which coincides.

If it wasn't for 4H, I might never have raced motorcycles, which was what I dedicated my young life to between the ages of 13 and 21.
My sister raised a blue-ribbon sheep, which she sold at Carl Johnson's livestock auction and presented the proceeds to my father with the request that he put it towards the purchase price of a Honda Mini Trail, which she soon grew bored with and let her little brother become obsessed with.
I saw the MBRU you did that featured the Field Negro, and I kinda think that those trolls you described from News Blog all live under the bridge there now. I mean, they are a constant presence, and there's just nothing there. They are good for one thing, though, I usually hear the next really stupid Republican talking point from them fifteen or twenty minutes before it takes over the right wing media space.
But fuck those guys.
Got my election mailer for the goddamn recall election next month today. It says that all voters in Madera County will be sent their Official Ballot, County Voter Information Guide and voting instructions by mail within the next ten days.
I know this is a Republican district, but I'm curious as to how the recall does here. There was a "Republican Headquarters" down at the shopping center last year, and it mostly seemed to have big signs supporting the recall, and it disappeared before the recall even became official. Scary shit. I have my issues with Gavin Reptile, but I remember what it was like the last time they pulled this bullshit, and the slate of replacement choices this time doesn't include anyone nearly as good as Arnie, and he sucked donkey balls. The best thing I remember from his whole administration was when Tom Ammiano told him: “That's Mister Girlie Man to you, bub."
Thank you again for the podcast, and happy anniversary.
The damn cat is acting the fool again and is on lockdown for his sins. The neighbors only take the whole "He's just a poor black cat from the inner city" shtick so far, no matter how true it is.
